My C4 is "dark blue" (L347), but it looks almost identical to Emilios' car in color! Can anyone tell me what is the difference? I seem to think Pzull may have resprayed his car this color, but am too lazy to do a search (2 minutes late for a meeting already as well!)
Cheers,

Hello forklift

Brake vents came with the car. I am nor sure but I think they are from Germany. At the present moment they make no difference for brake cooling. Only better cooling for the oil. Will fix the hoses for the brakes in a month.
Regards

 

I don't have any pics, but I am a huge fan of the Fiskes. That is as long as you don't mind spending time cleaning them. They are a pain to keep clean. Best wishes - Jay Gratton

 

Et tu Brute???

You know, Howard - it's taken me several MONTHS to CONVINCE Jen that her flags are normal. She doesn't need an upgrade to the "aero" look... (BTW - I AM talking about her 964...?? )

Now - you come along - she will read your post - and I'll be "toast". You have NO IDEA how many times she's asked about upgrading her mirrors. I tell her the square flags are:
- A retro look.....

- The way Porsche designed the car - and THEY would know....

- The square mirrors have a better field of view....

- Adrian has square mirrors on his car.....

- John Miles has "flags"...

- That in a "panic stop", the flags will help her stop better...

- That the aero mirros will reduce the weight of the door, and therefore induce instability...

- That I'll have to repaint her entire car if I change the mirrors...

- That "square" is "stylish"....

However - she comes home tonite from work, and while in the garage and she is rinsing off her car from the salt and snow today - has the audacity to ask "Did you see Howard's post today about my mirrors???"

I lied - and said I missed it....

Thanks for the help....

Oh - if you find you are unable to post a reply to this thread - you should e-mail the Rennlist Admin.... I'm sure they will "hop right on it"....

Heh, heh......!!!!!

Seriously - while all the above may be true - Jen agrees with you... Dammitt....

 

I the Fiske looking very cool also, especially on dark color cars.

 

Am I the ony one running AT Italia's??? By the way, regretfully I must sell my 91 in order to complete a business venture

 

Actually Forklift,
That's my black RSA with the FM10s. I love my wheels, but they are a huge pain to keep clean. I'm sure there would have been some weight savings if I kept with the stock size, but I'm running 18x8 and 18x10 right now. I'm currently having one of the rims repaired at Fikse right now - so the car now has the red spare on the back!

The Best looking wheel IMO



Polished 18" speedlines.

 

If and when I recondition my wheels, I may go all polished. Those look nice.

Does anyone know what the speedlines weigh in 8 and 10 X 18. What about the Fiske? Which is lighter.

 

What is all this fuss about Fikse's wheels - I don't get it. IMO they look ugly on a Porsche, out of place and definitely aftermarket.

How can they even be remotely compared to the Speedline Cups?

 

ok, i'm confused. I was thinking of putting on some Race Black Fikse's on my car, but I have a used set of FM-10s.......so i thought, "oh Fikse will just refinish them for me" I just called them and they won't do that. they said i could buy new Race Black centers for $400 each. too bad!
has anyone gone through a wheel color change?

 

Why could you not get someone to powder coat. I bet it could be done for about $ 100.00 a piece.

 

Message to Rennlist Admin sent. Hmmm...couldn't seem to access the thread for a while........
